Enough is enough!

So big question, when is enough... enough? One thing I have found out is that when organising a wedding there are a million different things you can do. There are options for every detail and there are unending number of choices of entertainment.

Besides the band and food your reception is pretty much a blank canvas. Anything you can think of you can put in. You’ll see from TV shows like “don’t tell the bride” that they do everything from Oompa loompas to live circus animals. But where do you draw the line?

For us our wedding day is a day for us. We have planned to surround ourselves in things that we love and enjoy. Objects that make us geek out with excitement and decorations that incorporate who we are. How we decided what we wanted was simple, we asked ourselves if we saw “this” at a wedding, would we love it? And of course the question to each other “How awesome would... be?”.

The problem is that Catherine and I have, what seems like, a never ending stream of ideas. It gets to the point of “do we really think we need this or is it because we can”. I believe we have a healthy mix of what we like and what everyone will enjoy. Understanding that not everything is everybody’s cup of tea is very important, and that has stopped us doing things we don’t want or need.

Now that we are in the home stretch all new ideas are being pushed to the side and the loose ends of ideas that have been approved are being tied up. There is always that doubt, is it enough, have we done enough to make people go wow!
